五、發明說明(1) 【發明之領域】 _本發明疋關於失真補償的一種方法和裝置。更具體而 言,是關於寬頻帶預失真線性化的方法及裝置。 【發明之背景】 射頻(RF )信號通常包含由諸如振幅調變或是組合兩 個或更多個RF載波或RF音頻所造成的包絡變異。如果這些 振幅調變或多音頻R F信號是透過諸如非線性放大器所放 大,則會導致互調變失真(IMD ) 。IMD會造成不必要的干 擾在多音頻RF信號音頻之外的其他頻率上產生。這種干擾 =常會在接近音頻的頻率上發生’因此很難被濾除。所以 而要某種形式的線性化以壓制由非線性放大器所造成的 IMD 〇 在放大器設計中’失真績效及效率之間必須要有所妥 協。在「等級A」條件下運作的線性放大器產生的失真很 小但沒有效率,而在「等級C」條件下運作的非線性放大 器則效率十分合理但會引入嚴重的失真。雖然效率及失真 都是放大器設計中的重要考量,但在高功率電平時效率的 重要性卻逐漸增加。非線性放大器因為其效率而被大量的 採用,卻留下失真的問題必須處理。 已知有數種放大器線性化的技術可以降低由非線性放 大器.造成的失真。傳統的放大器線性化技術可以廣泛的分 類為反饋、前饋、或預失真。 反饋是已經被廣泛應用的已知線性化技術。例如授與 Black的美國專利案第2, 102, 671號中揭示了 一個早期負反V. Description of the invention (1) [Field of the invention] _ The present invention relates to a method and device for distortion compensation. More specifically, it relates to a method and an apparatus for linearizing a wide-band predistortion. [Background of the Invention] Radio frequency (RF) signals often include envelope variations caused by, for example, amplitude modulation or combining two or more RF carriers or RF audio. If these amplitude-modulated or multi-tone RF signals are amplified by, for example, a non-linear amplifier, they can cause intermodulation distortion (IMD). IMD can cause unwanted interference at frequencies other than the audio of a multi-tone RF signal. This interference = often occurs at frequencies close to the audio ’and is therefore difficult to filter out. Therefore, some form of linearization is needed to suppress the IMD caused by the non-linear amplifier. There must be a compromise between distortion performance and efficiency in amplifier design. Linear amplifiers operating under "level A" have very little distortion but are not efficient, while non-linear amplifiers operating under "level C" have very reasonable efficiency but introduce severe distortion. Although both efficiency and distortion are important considerations in amplifier design, the importance of efficiency increases at high power levels. Non-linear amplifiers are widely used because of their efficiency, but the problem of distortion must be addressed. Several amplifier linearization techniques are known to reduce distortion caused by non-linear amplifiers. Traditional amplifier linearization techniques can be broadly classified as feedback, feedforward, or predistortion. Feedback is a known linearization technique that has been widely used. For example, U.S. Patent No. 2, 102, 671 to Black revealed an early negative reaction

Owens 的"Power Amplifier Linearity Studies for SSB Transmissions", IEEE Transactions on Communication Systems,pp· 1 5 0 - 1 5 9,June 1 964 中揭示 了一種反饋線 性化技術以降低射頻上的失真。較近的反饋技術是使用基 頻帶正交調變的負反饋之Car tes ia η反饋。這種反饋的一 個範例揭示於M. A. Briffa及 M. Faulkner 的"Stability Analysis of Cartesian Feedback Linearization for Amplifiers with Weak Non 1 inearities", IEE Proceedings on Communications, Vol. 143, No. 4, pp_ 212-218,Aug. 1 9 9 6。其他現代的反饋線性化技術包 含極性反饋,在授與〇pas之美國專利案第5, 〇23, 937號中 有討論,以及中頻(IF )反饋,揭示於k. G. Voyce及J. H. Me Candle s.s 的 Power Amplifier LinearizationOwens' "Power Amplifier Linearity Studies for SSB Transmissions", IEEE Transactions on Communication Systems, pp. 15 0-1 59, June 1 964 discloses a feedback linearization technique to reduce RF distortion. A more recent feedback technique is Cartes ia η feedback using negative feedback of quadrature modulation in the baseband. An example of such feedback is disclosed in " Stability Analysis of Cartesian Feedback Linearization for Amplifiers with Weak Non 1 inearities " by MA Briffa and M. Faulkner, IEE Proceedings on Communications, Vol. 143, No. 4, pp_ 212-218, Aug. 1 9 9 6. Other modern feedback linearization techniques include polar feedback, discussed in US Patent No. 5, 〇23, 937 granted to opas, and intermediate frequency (IF) feedback, as disclosed in k. G. Voyce and JH Me Candle ss Power Amplifier Linearization
Using IF Feedback", IEEE MTT-S Digest, pp. 863-866, 1989 。 這些反饋線性化技術的問題在於系統的延遲通常會限 制可用的線性化頻寬。反饋技術因此通常被侷限在窄頻帶 系統中,例如單載波線性調變設計。這些反饋線性化技術 的另一種缺點則在於他們潛在的不穩定性。 如饋是另一種被成功應用於射頻的已知線性化技術。 典型的前饋RF功率放大器揭示於授與P〇wel丨等人的美國專 利案第5, 157, 346號中。根據該技術,放大的輸出會與輸 入信號在第一比較迴路中比較以取得誤差信號。誤差信號Using IF Feedback ", IEEE MTT-S Digest, pp. 863-866, 1989. The problem with these feedback linearization techniques is that system latency often limits the available linearization bandwidth. Feedback techniques are therefore often limited to narrow-band systems, such as single-carrier linear modulation designs. Another disadvantage of these feedback linearization techniques is their potential instability. RuFe is another known linearization technique that has been successfully applied to RF. A typical feedforward RF power amplifier is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,157,346 granted to Powel et al. According to this technique, the amplified output is compared with the input signal in a first comparison loop to obtain an error signal. Error signal

Nojima及T. Konno 的 Cuber Predistortion Linearizer for Relay5. Description of the invention on page 6 (3) The amplifier is amplified and added to the output at the phase of the second correction loop degree, whereby the technology provides a disadvantageous error amplifier of linearization before widening linearization frequency, and therefore The efficiency of the feedforward technology is low, although the former level A amplifier is more efficient. Another known linearization technique Linearization is achieved by making the conversion from pre-loss to a linear function by distorting the pre-amplifier. In the middle, the distortion of the original output is offset by 180 to the original output distortion. This wide range has excellent IMD suppression. The reason is that it usually requires the use of a line to operate under level A. This will degrade the amplifier and still have the same performance than pre-distortion. According to this technique, the predistortion technique that distorts the input signal with the distortion input from the amplifier to the amplifier output can be applied to the true RF frequency or baseband, that is, before modulation with the RF carrier. When applied to {^ frequency, the pre-distortion technique exhibits linear performance over a wide frequency band. However, because the predistortion function is more complex and therefore more difficult to implement on higher-order distortions, predistortion techniques are usually reduced to a maximum of only the third-order IMD component.

P. Stapleton及J. K. Cavers 的"A New Technique for the Adaptation ofEquipment in 800 MHz Band Land Mobile Telephone Systems ", IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, Vol. VT-34, No. 4, pp. 169-177, Nov. 1 98 5 and US Patent No. 4 granted to No. ima Nos. 943, 783 disclose typical cubic predistorters that reduce IMD up to the third order. Fig. 1A illustrates a conventional cube predistorter 1 as disclosed by No. ima and Konno. The input RF signal received by input terminal 2 is divided into 4 by the power divider. 5. Description of the invention (4) '-are two signals with substantially the same amplitude. One of the divided signals is applied to a linear signal path including a variable delay line 9. The other divided signal is applied to a non-linear signal path including a third-order function generator 6, a variable phase adjuster 7, and a variable attenuator 8. The third-order function generator 6 generates a third-order predistortion signal according to the input RF signal, and outputs the predistortion signal at the terminal 12. The variable phase adjuster 7 adjusts the phase of the predistortion signal, and the variable attenuator 8 adjusts the amplitude of the predistortion signal. The amplitude and phase adjusted predistortion signal is combined in the combiner 5 with the linear signal provided by the delay line 9. The combined signal is transmitted at the terminal 10 to the RF power amplifier (M) 13. In this way, the third-order MD component caused by RF pa 丄 3 will be eliminated from the amplified signal, so that it is linearized with pA i 3 'If the delay line 9 compensates for the delay caused by the predistortion signal, a wide frequency can be achieved Linearization of the band. _, Figure 1B shows the spectrum of the RF signal composed of fl and cardiac audio, which can be applied to Pre-loss 1. Figure 1c illustrates the output spectrum of the RF PA 13. As shown by = -C, the output spectrum contains the basic components of ^ and d as represented by a solid line and the third-order iMD distortion octave produced by 2 ^-; ^ and pa 13. The output spectrum also contains a third-order predistortion component with a frequency of 2fi_f2 & 2f2_fi, which is injected by the pre-distortion 77 1, and is represented by a dashed line. As shown in the figure, the injected third-order predistortion component has the same amplitude but opposite phase to the third-order component of PA13. Therefore, the third-order predistortion component is prepared to cancel the third-order IMD component. ~ One of the problems with this method is that RF power amplifiers rarely have only the third-order IMD component and do not produce higher-order MD components. Generally, 5. Invention Description (5) Higher-order IMD distortion components are not valued, and only when the third-order IMD components are suppressed can they really appear. To solve this problem, S. P. Stapleton and J. K. Cavers' " A New Technique for the Adaptation of
Linearizing Predistorters", Preceedi ngs of the IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference, pp. 753-758, May 1991揭示了補償第三及更高階IMD成份的預失真器。 圖二顯示這個改良的預失真器,基本上包含三個主要方 塊:正交增益相位調整器(QGPA ) 1 4、基頻帶多項式預失 真器電路(P r e D ) 1 5、以及控制器1 6。Linearizing Predistorters ", Preceedi ngs of the IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference, pp. 753-758, May 1991 discloses predistorters that compensate for third and higher order IMD components. Figure 2 shows this improved predistorter, which basically consists of three main blocks: the quadrature gain phase adjuster (QGPA) 1 4, the baseband polynomial predistorter circuit (PreD) 1 5 and the controller 1 6 .
如圖二所示,輸入RF信號在輸入終端丨7中被送入qGPA 14及PreD 15中。PreD 15電路使用檢波器22檢測輸入心信 號的包絡並藉由非線性函數產生器Fi(x) 23及f2(x)24來處 理檢測f的包絡。函數產生器Fi(x) 23及匕(又)24會產生同 相及正父(I & q )信號,在QGPA 14中與進入的信號進行 多工以形成第三階與第五階的預失真分量。複合多工流程 絡的使用,使得調頻對調頻(AM/AM)及調頻 對调相(ΑΜ/ΡΜ )失真以笛卡爾形式 14電路中要達成複合多工是先透過將輸入rf #號刀割為兩個路徑,一個輸入多工 器20。在兩個路徑上的信號是相π 为彻 〇 的"间的,但輸入至多工器21 虎被私相器2〇移相為與輸入至多工器⑺的信號呈9〇 度。 2 4所產生的兩個多項 在函數產生器Fi(x) 23&F2(x) 五、發明說明(6) ~~ 式函數係數是由控制器16中的微處理器(βρ) 2 5提供。 微處理器2 5會根據由被線性化之rf ΡΑ (圖中未示)的輪 出所得到之同相及正交反饋信號級數來調整係數。I & ^ 反饋信號在濾波器28及29中進行帶通濾波,透過將imd與 貫際所需號分開以進行測量。這只有在被放大的所需# 號是單載波信號時才有可能,因為此時已知丨成份會饭 於單載波調變兩邊的頻帶上。檢波器2 6及2 7會決定帶通濃 波之IMD的級數以便微處理器25調整預失真函數的係數將〜' 失真最小化’並藉此將出現在RF PA輸出之imd成份的電平 最小化。 雖然這項技術會補償第三及更高階的I成份,但只 適用於單載波應用。在多載波系統中,載波的位置、一及其 IMD未必由帶通濾波方式取得。這使得該技術不適用於 通常涉及多音頻輸入信號之寬頻帶應用中,這些應用的寬 頻帶性質源自相距特定頻帶規劃(頻譜)之個別^頻帶評 "is 5虎的組合。 數位信號處理(DSP )可以應用於更詳細的預失真 :插例如授與Cavers的美國專利案第5, 〇49, 832號中揭示 仆沾f =DSP的適配線性化技術。使祕P的問題在於線性 ::頻:相當受限於DSP的取樣頻率及所需的數位/類比轉 換-:因此’使用DSP的系統通常不適用於寬頻帶應用。 帶庫統技術都無法補償具多音頻㈣入信號之寬頻 階IMD。除此之外’這些傳統技術也無法區 刀蜂值及平均電平的信號。As shown in Figure 2, the input RF signal is sent to qGPA 14 and PreD 15 in the input terminal 丨 7. The PreD 15 circuit uses the detector 22 to detect the envelope of the input heart signal and processes the envelope of f by the non-linear function generators Fi (x) 23 and f2 (x) 24. The function generator Fi (x) 23 and dagger (also) 24 will generate in-phase and positive father (I & q) signals, and multiplex with the incoming signal in QGPA 14 to form the third and fifth-order pre- Distortion component. The use of the complex multiplexing process network makes the frequency modulation (AM / AM) and phase modulation (AM / PM) distortion in Cartesian form. In order to achieve composite multiplexing, the input rf # is first cut. For two paths, one enters the multiplexer 20. The signals on the two paths are between " with phase π being complete, but the input to the multiplexer 21 is phase shifted by the private phaser 20 to be 90 degrees from the signal input to the multiplexer ⑺. The two polynomials generated by 2 4 are in the function generator Fi (x) 23 & F2 (x) 5. Explanation of the invention (6) ~~ The function coefficients are provided by the microprocessor (βρ) 2 5 in the controller 16 . The microprocessor 25 will adjust the coefficients based on the in-phase and quadrature feedback signal stages obtained from the rotation of the linearized rf PA (not shown). I & ^ The feedback signal is band-pass filtered in filters 28 and 29, and is measured by separating imd from the required number. This is only possible when the desired # signal being amplified is a single carrier signal, because at this time it is known that the components will lie on the frequency bands on both sides of the single carrier modulation. Detectors 2 6 and 2 7 will determine the number of IMD bands with dense passbands so that the microprocessor 25 adjusts the coefficients of the predistortion function to minimize 'distortion' and thereby will appear in the electrical components of the imd component of the RF PA output. Flat minimize. Although this technique compensates for third and higher order I components, it is only suitable for single carrier applications. In a multi-carrier system, the position of the carrier and its IMD may not necessarily be obtained by bandpass filtering. This makes the technology unsuitable for wideband applications, which usually involve multiple audio input signals. The wideband nature of these applications is derived from a combination of individual band evaluations " is 5 tigers apart from a specific band plan (spectrum). Digital signal processing (DSP) can be applied to more detailed predistortion: for example, US Pat. No. 5, 049, 832 to Cavers discloses an adaptive linearization technique for f = DSP. The problem with the secret P is the linear :: frequency: it is quite limited by the sampling frequency of the DSP and the required digital / analog conversion-: so ’a system using a DSP is generally not suitable for wideband applications. Band library technology cannot compensate for the wideband IMD with multiple audio input signals. In addition, these traditional techniques cannot distinguish the signal of the bee value and the average level.

Description of the invention (7): ~~~~~-When the δ audio cascade is in a multi-audio system, the peak value of the constructive dry audio RF signal is much larger than its average level. Non-linear multi-tone power method? The driver must be economical and reasonable in power efficiency, so there is no way to accommodate this peak. The result is that some peaks in the signal will be cut off when the amplifier saturation limit exceeds the frequency. 9 In RF in the predistorter shown in Figures 1A and 2, there is no type 1 diagram to distinguish the operation under or above Γ. As a result, the predistortion is caused to saturate the RF input signal of the RF PA in the hanging condition. The application of a free and 'pre-distortion #' will not have an output amplitude. ^ According to the huge compensation input of PA, it will not limit its output of the second vibration. Of course, the traditional predistorter in terms of phase, these phase corrections are relative to the loss: the efficiency is greatly reduced, so it will cause predistortion performance in these ridge values.耵 Wide-band predistortion technology for chirp signal, = 1 MD component of Guang Er @ order. There is also a need for a pre-distortion technique that is effective for the peaks of RF input kbl. [Summary of the invention] Zhejiang. The object of the present invention is to provide a technique for compensating high-order 1 MD components. A further goal is to provide an average input signal with low IMD compensation. At the same time, Tian Leliang prevents the IMD compensation of the peak input signal from decreasing.

Description of the invention (8) Compensate the third-order and higher-order 1 components over a wide frequency band, and the pre-distortion signal will be applied to an input RF signal, such as a multi-tone RF signal. The predistortion function is a low-order polynomial with adjustable coefficients. The detected envelope is clipped to a near hyperbolic tangent waveform and its proportion is adjusted. The limiting wave pattern approximates a hyperbolic tangent (t a n h) function to prevent the detected envelope from exceeding a certain value, and thus prevent predistortion compensation that is relatively inexact when a large peak appears in the detected envelope. According to a specific embodiment 'the predistortion signal compensates for the IMD components produced by the non-linear amplifier. The polynomial coefficients are adjusted based on the difference between the amplifier output and the input RF signal.

Description of the invention (14) '—'— -___________ Effective linearization performance of the South-level IMD component. Refer to the line of the frequency of the true number r after excluding coefficients. For a better understanding of the pre-miss. From Figure 58 and Figure 5c, we can see that =, the first, and the first: there is a first-order predistortion for this, and the χ 丨 χ 丨 2 terms are derived from the X term to improve distortion. The second-order pre-division of the second-order range term is that for each term, such as the X5 order term, the example is more order term, and the example of the circuit is multi-tone. The pre-distortion of the order 1MD component, the xixi term is dynamic. From Figs. 6A to 6C, the predistortion signals in the time domain 1 see that the amplitude of these items changes more quickly, and the rise and fall are faster. Similarly, when χ | χ 丨 is compared with other high-order, X, etc., when the amplitude of χ is quite large (H), the other high-amplitude rises faster than the amplitude of the XI χ 丨 term, so it will be more than the electrical formula = The frequency limit was reached early. When x is quite small (< 丨), other high amplitude drops are also faster than the amplitude of the X I x 丨 term, so it will approach the noise floor faster than the electronic one. Therefore, the χ | χ I term can simplify the pre-distortion electronic embodiment, especially when processing signals with inherently high dynamic range. Fig. A is an example of compensating for distortion according to a specific embodiment of the present invention. The method 1111 starts at step 7 0 0, where an input multi-audio r F signal is received: in step 720, the predistortion signal is produce. At step 74, the pre-distortion signal is applied to the input multi-tone RF signal. After applying the predistortion signal, the input multi-audio RF signal will be amplified, for example, and the IMD generated by the amplifier will be compensated by the predistortion signal. As shown in Fig. 7a, as long as a round RF signal is received, the predistortion method is repeated again and again.
